Goblin Plays Suspiria

Dir: Dario ArgentoYear: 1977Country: ItalyDuration: 98mins

A unique and very special event that wowed sell-out audiences in Melbourne earlier this year now comes to Perth.

Dario Argento - perhaps Italy’s most important horror film director – has produced a truly stunning body of work, whether creating bloodied zombies in collaboration with George Romero or, as in Suspiria, creating visionary supernatural horror. A remarkable visual stylist and visceral storyteller, Argento’s unique cinematic visions were matched by the work of Italian progressive rock group Goblin, who created the haunting and visionary scores that emphasised the brooding atmospheres, the unnerving fears and the utter horror of many of his movies.

Now, more than three decades after the release of Suspiria – considered by many to be Argento’s cinematic masterwork – Goblin are performing their soundtrack live to the film. Accompanying the groundbreaking horror movie with their original score and enabling audiences to fully experience the power of their collaboration with the director.

This event takes horror and musical performance to the next level, and is a must see. Early booking is highly recommended.
